The hospital administrators have officially dropped the mandate. I am holding back tears knowing that my colleagues and I can finally return to work without sacrificing our bodily autonomy. Please keep watching the internal policy updates closely to ensure this decision remains permanent.

By signing this, the undersigned exercise their freewill and state that they believe an individual’s guaranteed Liberty to refuse or accept a vaccine is protected by both the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Kansas Bill of Rights, which includes rights of personal autonomy and bodily integrity, and the right to reject medical treatment.
In signing this, we understand that the Government is compelling businesses to issue COVID-19 vaccine mandates by threat of withholding funding, if they fail to comply. A vaccine mandate is contrary to the fundamental tenet of medical ethics requiring voluntary and informed consent for any procedure or drug that imposes a medical risk to an individual. It is a tenet, which hospitals in Kansas adheres to in patient care and as employees, we should not be subject to a lower ethical standard than that afforded to our patients. Freewill allows an individual employee to freely choose to accept medical risks for the benefit of others. However, those who choose to accept such sacrifices for others, must truly be volunteers, not mandated by their employer. Hospitals wont mandate patients get a vaccine before we accept them as a patient so Hospitals shouldn’t expect the same of us.
The below signed refuse to allow our government or employer to strip us of our rights of personal autonomy and bodily integrity, and the right to reject or accept medical treatment and we will stand together to protect those rights, including accepting or rejecting a COVID-19 vaccine. It is our right to allow our natural immune system or vaccines to establish protections to viruses. Natural immunity has proven to be long lasting and effective at preventing disease. With SARS-CoV-1 (early 2000’s) and SARS-CoV-2 86% similar, individuals recovering from either strain have been found to have robust and long-lasting immunity from all variants and are at two times the risks of having an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Reaching 500 signatures is a powerful reminder that I am not fighting alone for the basic medical autonomy we deserve. Seeing so many colleagues recognize that our bodily integrity is non-negotiable gives me hope that we can hold our hospitals to the same ethical standards we uphold for our patients.

Watching this list grow shows that my colleagues are tired of being treated like a secondary priority in our own workplace. We need to push past one hundred signatures right now to show the administration that our bodily autonomy is not up for negotiation.

No to mandatory vaccination! It is an individual choice. Healthcare will lose many great professionals making is difficult, if not impossible, to keep enough staff to operate and keep hospitals open.
I have worked in the maintenance dept at this hospital for 10 years. I am an 8 year veteran of the armed forces where I sacrificed not only my life but my family due to deployments. I did this because I love America and Her Freedoms. Now I’m being threatened that my free choice, Medical choose is being taken from me!!!!! I’m angry on so many levels!!
My daughter was vaccine damaged, my father had reaction and I also had reaction. I've gone a year and half working in healthcare with no xivid and will continue to use infection control but will exercise my right to chose not to vaccinate and be willing to lose my job if mandated.
Mandating a vaccine is completely unconstitutional. One of the rights guaranteed to us in healthcare is the right to refuse medical treatment. THIS HAS ALWAYS INCLUDED VACCINATIONS, it should continue to do so.
I've taken the vaccination, but it was my choice and I believe it is our right and choice to get the vaccine if we choose to do so, it's already been proved you can still get Covid either way, Do what's right and respect your fellow healthcare workers.

As an American it is my right to choose which medical interventions I do and do not receive.
